Swamps etc.



After Louisiana, it only takes 3 hours to cross Mississippi and Alabama's dangling appendages to get into Florida which, while we're on the subject, is sometimes known as "America's Wang". Emboldened by this fact, we cruised along the coastline as much as we could. The Gulf's waters are brownish along the Texas and Louisiana coasts but once in Florida it starts to clear up and turn a nice greenish blue. The shores of St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay are resort quality. But we were on a mission to see the steamy swamps of southern Florida and the Everglades. An airboat ride took us through mangrove tunnels.

Do they still sell those "Hey Europe, eat my Florida" T-shirts?
